Ok, so is a longear and a pumkinseed the same thing? I deffinately stocked some pure pumkinseed and some that are very long eared but a little more drap, then some that are very bright red brested but those pointed me back to the pumkinseed. I've wanted to get more of them because when I have caught them they are very aggresive and they eat snails and they are very pretty. I know they don't get to be the biggest but they get to be 8 inches pretty often from what I've seen. When I was stocking my pond I was using a trap and a typical catch was 8bg, 2gsf and one ps and at the end i was throwing back the others and trying to get a couple of more ps. I'll try to get another pic of a Texas PS. They are at Richland College in Richardson Texas.
